City and County Government Preservation Programs (CLG)

Certified Local Governments (CLGs) are those municipalities and counties that have enacted a local preservation ordinance meeting certain standards. CLGs are eligible for an earmarked pool of federal grants, may participate in the state preservation tax credit program, and may attend training workshops and meetings held to encourage networking among local governments. OAHP staff is available to assist with the creation of new CLGs and to provide information to other commissions.
